He was confident that with a skilled lawyer and the backing of funds, satisfactory results could be achieved.
After finishing all his words, Han Joon stared silently at Dan Woo.
As he was already handling the lawsuit related to the murder case involving Woo Jung-hyun, he expected Dan Woo would not refuse.
“It’s disgusting to claim mental illness. Let’s believe in Lawyer Yoon’s skills.”
As Han Joon expected, Dan Woo readily accepted his proposal.
After the formal conversation ended, the two closed their mouths as if they had agreed. The air in the office became even heavier.
Han Joon fixed his gaze on the sky beyond the glass window that Dan Woo was leaning against.
If he wanted sponsorship, there were many companies that would show interest, not necessarily this place.
However, the reason it was ‘Woo Dan Woo’ was that he knew it wouldn’t be used to promote sponsorship or associate with the company’s image.
And, on the other hand, there was a hope for a perfect person next to Jian.
Perhaps he needed an excuse to come to Play Round, even if it meant making a childish excuse.
“Discuss the rest directly with our legal team.”
Dan Woo broke the silence first and called Tae Yoon to explain the conversation he had with Han Joon.
However, the story about Jian never came out from anyone’s mouth until the end.

Leaving Dan Woo’s office, Han Joon took the elevator and went down to the first floor.
But he changed his mind about meeting Jian and went back up to the second floor. He thought there was no need for an awkward face-to-face meeting.
He entered the cafe on the second floor and took a seat at a table where the attic library desk was visible.
Checking the time by looking at the clock for a moment, he then turned his gaze to see Jian.
Jian, with neatly tied hair and wearing a uniform, filled his sight, making Han Joon’s heart flutter.
“There’s no way he got better.”
It was still difficult even to recall Jian’s name.
If he had known it would be this hard to forget, he might have given his heart a little less.
Choosing to see Jian for a moment and then leave seemed like a wise decision.
Otherwise, he might have come up with unnecessary excuses to delay the time.
But someday, it would be a passing moment, and a day to see Jian would come.
“Just live under the same sky. What more can you ask for.”
He muttered quietly, swallowing the bitter coffee that had cooled down, and opened his phone.
[It’s Seoul. Stop calling just because I’m alive.]After typing the message to Jian, Han Joon hesitated to press the send button.
What’s the difference between sending a message and not sending one?
It might be the difference between Jian worrying about me every day or not caring about me.
‘Why am I contemplating what I did well? Just let him feel comfortable.’
Han Joon pressed the send button firmly and showed his back.
He didn’t want to see Jian checking the message if there was still some remaining pride.
And two days later.
Knock, knock.
Opening the door of Lawyer Park Hoon’s office, Han Joon entered.
Wearing a neatly arranged British suit that perfectly fit his body, Han Joon bowed to Lawyer Park.
“Oh? Mister.”
Yi Jun, who was checking the schedule for the gathering of Woo Jung-hyun’s victims and an interview, quickly stood up and opened her mouth wide in surprise at his appearance.
She approached Han Joon in an instant and scanned him from head to toe with a changed appearance.
“Is it you, Mister?”
“Call me ‘Attorney.'”
“Huh?”
Han Joon raised one side of his lips and smiled, then pushed the door wide open, securing the stop bar.
Then, he put a hood on Yi Jun and pointed beyond the folding screen where I used to reside.
“We need to rearrange the office furniture, and people will come up soon. Stay there for a while. Can you handle it?”
“……Yes.”
When noisy sounds echoed in the corridor, Ji Yoon glanced at Ha Joon and quickly moved away from her seat.
Although it was gradually improving, it was challenging for Ji Yoon to see people with no facial expressions. She tightly gripped a prescription medicine bottle that she carried in her pocket.
After a while, when the people who were bustling around left.
Ji Yoon was the happiest person.
Luxurious wooden desks and ergonomic chairs that perfectly supported the body.
Moreover, each desk was equipped with a large monitor on a new computer.
Not to mention, there were also high-quality leather sofas and air purifiers.
And, above all, a lawyer boasting a 100% winning rate was sitting on a luxurious leather sofa.
“Mister, you won’t change your mind again tomorrow, will you?”
“……. ”
While Ha Joon, who was facing Lawyer Park, raised his head and nodded, the expression on his face indicated that her words were incorrect.
“Oh. It’s a mistake. A mistake. Attorney.”
Yi Jun quickly changed her title while laughing awkwardly. Then, she approached and asked about the lunch menu, as she always chose it herself.
“What would you like for lunch today? Attorney.”
“The change of stance is too fast.”
“Of course.”
“Choose for me. …The menus you choose aren’t bad.”
Handing over the menu selection, Ha Joon looked back at the office he had left without regrets not long ago.
The picture of Woo Jung-hyun, who used to throw darts at it, had been replaced with a new one.
He hoped that no one who had suffered from Woo Jung-hyun’s harm would be disappointed but dream of a better dream.

Ring.
[My sister stayed overnight at home. Go straight to the penthouse.]
Dan Woo was receiving feedback and sales reports on the new version of the Eagles League during a meeting in the conference room.
He quickly checked the message and immediately frowned.
‘I’ve been waiting for the weekend. This doesn’t make sense.’
As the sound of Dan Woo’s sigh spread, for a moment, the executives’ eyes in the conference room focused on him.
Not knowing the focused gaze on him, Dan Woo’s earpiece turned to Tae Yoon and asked.
“What’s wrong? Is there something going on?”
“No, please continue.”
Dan Woo quickly resumed the report and fixed his gaze on the screen.
Lately, he felt that Jian’s attention was gradually moving away from him.
Jian gladly said, ‘This is what dating is like,’ but Dan Woo didn’t feel the same. He disliked the fact that there was a time to break up and return home.
Moreover, on days like today, when he was pushed away with the excuse of having other plans, he felt more uneasy.
At that moment, the two letters ‘marriage’ came to Dan Woo’s mind out of the blue.
Male lead Asks for a Divorce Every Day
It’s not often you come across a plot like this in the female-dominant genre — make sure to check it out!
This is a novel I’m planning to reread as well.
The male lead is strong, skilled in martial arts, and not the usual fragile type you often see in matriarchal novels.
Meanwhile, the female lead is a scientist—rational and logical. Even when she falls for the male lead, she doesn’t let her emotions cloud her decisions.
If you push through the first few chapters, you’ll gradually find the story really intriguing.
It has a mix of mystery, detective elements, and romance.
The author’s writing style is like crafting a puzzle—except they deliberately leave out a few pieces, making it hard to predict what happens next, yet keeping you hooked.
In the end, everything will come together and be explained.
One-sentence summary: Wife, stop playing with beakers and look at me!
In a laboratory accident, research scientist Zhu Wansheng accidentally travels to a matriarchal world. The original owner of the body is an eighteen-year-old only daughter of a wealthy rouge merchant, already married with a handsome young man.
Zhu Wansheng grins: Nice! She always said she was heaven’s favorite granddaughter. After a life of toil in her previous life, she can enjoy blessings in this one.
However, her joy lasts no more than three seconds as bad news arrives: the original owner’s family is about to go bankrupt, and her husband wants a divorce.
Even worse, she’s stuck with a research system full of restrictions.
Zhu Wansheng: ? Is this the destiny of a research dog?
——
Faced with this mess, Zhu Wansheng pours herself a bowl of wine to drown her sorrows. In her drunken haze, her husband arrives.
His figure is imposing, holding a long sword, with a dignified air that captivates Zhu Wansheng.
Gu Yingqing, however, looks at the alcohol-reeking Zhu Wansheng with undisguised disgust and coldly asks, “Divorce or not?” The intoxicated Zhu Wansheng mumbles vaguely, “I think… it’s not… it’s not… impossible!”
——
The next day, after sobering up, Zhu Wansheng is full of energy, rolling up her sleeves ready to make a big move. As for yesterday? She has no memory of it.
Zhu Wansheng is ambitious; a research dog fears nothing!
Upgrading rouge, extracting fragrances, producing perfumes, researching lipsticks… all shall bow to the power of modern technology!
The original owner’s dying rouge shop is revitalized. Her mother is pleased and with a wave of her hand, passes on the family business to her. As she takes control and her experimental results gain popularity, it’s the pinnacle of her life…
——
But there are always those who can’t stand to see her doing well. Jealousy, scheming, assassination attempts – they want nothing less than her life.
The person who has always kept his distance from her suddenly holds her tightly in his arms, eyes full of concern.
She is unharmed, but he falls into a pool of blood…
Zhu Wansheng feels guilty, “I can grant you one wish.”
Gu Yingqing tentatively circles his arms around her, carefully resting his head in the crook of her neck, pleading softly, “I regret it. Can we not divorce?”
Zhu Wansheng: ? When did I agree to a divorce?
[Small Theater]
The newly developed rouge is beautifully packaged, and Zhu Wansheng is eager to try it.
Gu Yingqing suddenly appears: “My lady, may I apply it for you?”
Cool fingertips lightly brush her lips. His Adam’s apple bobs as he leans in for a light bite.
Zhu Wansheng: ?
Gu Yingqing: It smells so good, I wanted to taste it…
On a warm spring day, Zhu Wansheng tries a new perfume: “Spring Night.” Gu Yingqing corners her against a wall.
Warm breath lingers on her neck.
“My lady, from now on, may I test the fragrances for you?”
